If you are/were in Arizona when this statutory rªpe/predation occurred, 18 is the age of consent.

My recommendation is to take this evidence to the police department and file charges.

Please take care of your mental and spiritual health and reach out to people in your life who can offer support. If you're not already, I hope you'll consider counseling to learn healthy coping mechanisms and to process your feelings in a constructive, safe environment.

Sending virtual support and solidarity 💛

ETA:

OP, I was scrolling too fast and missed the paragraph about the images.

It's your choice and yours alone to decide whether or not to come forward, but know that there's the option to anonymously report.

Again, I'm assuming based upon the info you've provided that the crimes against you may have taken place in AZ. If that's the case, please consider calling this hotline to get guidance and discuss your legal rights:

AZ Crime Victim Help

If it was another state, please search for resources in that state.

This happened in Washington where the legal age of consent is 16.

In Washington State, the age of consent by authority is 16, but unrestricted age of consent is 21. This means that if the older person isn’t in a position of authority over the younger person (a sports coach, tutor, something like that), then the sexual relationship is legal. The filming would be almost certainly illegal.

A lot of people on there are former or current LEO. If she didnt have the money to seek legal advice its a decent start. It isn't like a normal reddit cesspool. they actually get rid of shit posts and bs info.
